Charmed baryon spectroscopy on the physical point in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD

Abstract

We investigate the charmed baryon mass spectrum using the relativistic heavy quark action on 2+1 flavor PACS-CS configurations previously generated on $32^3\times 64$ lattice. The dynamical up-down and strange quark masses are set to the physical values by using the technique of reweighting to shift the quark hopping parameters from the values employed in the configuration generation. At the physical point, the lattice spacing equals $a^{-1}=2.194(10)$ GeV and the spatial extent $L=2.88(1)$ fm. Our results for the charmed baryon masses are consistent with experiments except for ${\Xi }_{cc}$, which has only weak experimental evidence yet. We also predict mass values for other doubly and triply charmed baryons.
